Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Once Bitten Twice Shy
I konw
Well the times getting hard
for you little girl
I'm a humming and a strumming
all over god's world
You don't remember
when you got your last meal
And you forgot just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock n'roll was
Until you met a drummer
on a greyhound bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands
across your state line
Well in the middle of the night
On the open road
And the heater don't work
and it's oh so cold
You're getting tired
you're looking kinda beat
The music of the street drive
you off your feet
You didn't know how rock n'roll looked
Until you caught your sister
with a guy from the group
Half way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eyes she was giving
what she got here now ahhh
Once bitten twice shy babe here now ahhh
Once bitten twice shy babe here now ahhh
Once bitten twice shy babe
Woman you're a mess gonna die
in your sleep
All the blood on my hand
and my les paul heat
I can't leave you home cos
you're running around
My best friend told me
you're the best trick in town
You didn't know that rock n'roll burned
So you bought a candle
and you loved and you learned
You got the rhythm you got the speed
Mamma's little baby likes
it short and sweet here now ahhh
Once bitten twice shy babe
here now ahhh
Once bitten twice shy babe

ah ah ah here now ahhh
Once bitten twice shy babe
I didn't know ya got
a rock n'roll record
Until a saw your picture
on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one
And look at you now well
it's dark as it's dumb ahhh
Once bitten twice shy babe here now ahhh
Once bitten twice shy babe ahhh here now
Once bitten twice shy babe here now ahhh
